fonograma

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Music contract
This is a contract in which a session musician cedes the rights to recordings made during a session. Should "fonograma" be "recording" or should it be "sound clip" or something like that?

Por intermedio de la presente dejo formal, expresa, e irrevocable constancia que participé como intérprete y ejecutante en la sesión musical de estudio de la artista conocida como “XXX” (en adelante la “ARTISTA”), sesiones de las cuales se generaron una serie de fonogramas (en adelante los “Fonogramas”), que son de propiedad y propiedad intelectual exclusiva de la ARTISTA.

philgoddard Jan 11:
I agree, good point.
'Recording' includes video but it could be translated as 'audio/sound recording'.
philgoddard Jan 10:
I seem to be in the minority here (why are so many people posting the same answer?), but I think Wendy's plain-English 'recording' would do fine.

phonogram (sound recordings)

The Glossary of the Terms of the Law of Copyright and Neighboring Rights gives the following definitions:

Phonogram: Any exclusively aural fixation of sounds of a performance or of other sounds. Gramophone records (discs) or tape recorder cassettes are duplicates of a phonogram.

Fonograma: Es toda fijación exclusivamente sonora de los sonidos de una representación o ejecución o de otros sonidos. Las grabaciones gramofónicas (discos) o las cassettes magnetofónicas son copias de fonogramas.

In the US, the term 'sound recordings' is widely used instead of 'phonograms.'

phonorecord

Sound Recordings Distinguished from Phonorecords
A sound recording is not the same as a phonorecord. A phonorecord is the statutory term for a physical object that contains a sound recording, such as a digital audio file, a compact disc, or an LP.
The term “phonorecord” includes any type of object that may be used to store a sound recording, including digital formats such as .mp3 and .wav files.

Note from asker:
I don't think the subject of the contract is the physical object containing containing the music: it seems to be the music itself. Look at this phrase: "Que la ARTISTA y/o quien ella indique, podrán disponer, reproducir, poner a disposición, publicar, distribuir, modificar, comercializar y/o utilizar los Fonogramas por todos los medios, formas o procedimientos que actualmente se conocen..."

agree Jennifer Levey : Correct in Asker's context. Also 'phonogram'. See https://copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/copyright_symbol

Phonogram

La Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual, cuya web puede consultarse en español e inglés, recoge "fonograma" como equivalente a "phonogram".

Definición en español en el artículo 114 del Texto Refundido de la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual: “Se entiende por fonograma toda fijación exclusivamente sonora de la ejecución de una obra u otros sonidos”.

Reference:

The WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) deals with the rights of two kinds of beneficiaries, particularly in the digital environment: (i) performers (actors, singers, musicians, etc.); and (ii) producers of phonograms (persons or legal entities that take the initiative and have the responsibility for the fixation of sounds). These rights are addressed in the same instrument, because most of the rights granted by the Treaty to performers are rights connected to their fixed, purely aural performances (which are the subject matter of phonograms).

As far as performers are concerned, the Treaty grants performers economic rights in their performances fixed in phonograms (not in audiovisual fixations, such as motion pictures): (i) the right of reproduction; (ii) the right of distribution; (iii) the right of rental; and (iv) the right of making available.
